You had started off in this thread being sensible. Now you have returned to your usual self.

Why do you behave like one of these school children?

How many times do you need telling. It is the responsibility of the school so she was doing her job.

We haven’t quite got to becoming a police state.

Now you are jumping to conclusions in accusing the shopkeeper of phoning the paper for publicity’s sake. She could have been and probably was, highlighting the behaviour of a teacher who overstepped the mark.

I see many school children in uniform in Asda during school hours every week. I’ve never seen a copper apprehend them. Meaning that Asda doesn’t give a hoot and only money talks. So if you’ve got a beef on this point go and tackle Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Iceland, Aldi, Netto etc. Don’t forget the market and record shops.

Admit it – the teacher was out of order.

Not so often your right and your wrong again it is an offense to know a felony has been committed or even to know it may be committed and not

report it

I think I said that to you in a PM actually when I was asking you the most convenient method of travel for getting to London. I'm not on placement in a law firm anyway.

Of course the schools are just making sure the majority of pupils pass their GCSE's. There is usually one teacher to a class of 25-30 kids, how can they offer personal tuition to all

My personal tutor lectures to 180 pupils at a time in the law of contract, and all tutors have time for the individual needs of students, we don't pay them for nothing.

I have had my exams, and turned up for everyone online. My point about the rules is that they are generally a framework. There are always loop holes and exceptions to the rules, that's life. If you get pulled for doing 33mph in a 30 zone you are most likely to be let off with a caution, often due o the fact that manufacturers don't follow guidelines tightly enough to ensure the speedometers measure 100% accurately in the first place.

I don't care if you think I talk in long sentences or don't agree with your boring ways of life. Why should I be like you when you're all middle aged and sit on accyweb all day? Why just be a slave to the wage when you can be a slave to spending all your free time on accyweb too? I think I'll stick to my way thanks.

you sit on it all night

I would have thought that any decent parent (and there are obviously several contributing to this thread) would have backed the teacher on this.

Would you want your child to be able to while away the hours in a butty shop when they should be in school?

I wouldn't. I'd want the teacher who'd seen them to haul them into school, punish them as they see fit and then inform me. I would punish them at home also. I would be thanking and apologising to that teacher and would ensure my children apologised to her too.

Too many parents have a laissez faire attitude these days.

To end up with our kids becoming decent, law abiding, employable adults we need to work with the school not against them.

Yes at the early hours of the morning when I have the choice of the internet or walking the streets to tire myself out.

I see nobody answered why the teacher wasn't in school at that time either. What's the point of being in school at 8.40am if the teachers are still strolling in at 8.50am?

The kids were having breakfast, I hardly see what the problem is. Since when does Rhyddings start at 8.50 anyway :/ always thought it started at 9 like all the other schools.

they dont, they start at 8.40

panther · 06-07-2008, 19:44

nope 8.40 now and in september they finish at 3.00pm

Tin Monkey · 06-07-2008, 19:45

Wrong yet again. Deary me.

blazey · 06-07-2008, 19:49

Well sorry for not going to Rhyddings or knowing anyone who goes there. 8.40 is ridiculous, especially considering the distance some people travel these days to get to school because they're often missing out on their first choice of school. No wonder why they're having to grab breakfast once they're there.

And I ask AGAIN, why was the teacher late into school?!

panther · 06-07-2008, 19:53

have a look
http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/...sts_in_to_cafe

flashy · 06-07-2008, 19:53

Panther, if school starts at 8.40, and she was in the sandwich shop at 8.50am that makes her outside of school during schooltime as well...

I'm not going to follow the newspaper report as it's most likely biased.

lancsdave · 06-07-2008, 20:01

Mount Carmel starts at 8.55 and Hollins 8.45. Doubt if you find a secondary school that does start at 9 these days.
